Unlock answersAcid strength |
-measured by its tendency to ionize (more polar = more electronegative)
-the stronger the bond, means the weaker the acid (harder to breakup, therefore WA) |
Hydrohalic Acids |
Includes: F, Cl, Br, I
Strength increases as move down column F > Cl > Br > I |
Oxalic Acids |
-Must have: H, O, and Z (central atom) -=Z - O - H
-Acid strength increases with electronegativity of central atom
-Acid strength increases as oxidation number increases (more O atoms = more acid strength; draws electron density away from H making it more polar and therefore more electronegative)
-Acid strength increases as move across period |
Oxidation Numbers |
1. Free elements = 0 (H2, Na, Be, K, P4 = 0)
2. Ions = their charge (Li+=+1, Ba2+=+2, O2-=-2)
3. Oxygen is normally -2 in most compounds, but in H2O2 and peroxide ion =-1
4. H is +1, except when with metals in binary cmpds, then is -1 (LiH, NaH, CaH2)
5. F = -1, but all other halides = their charge #
6. Neutral molecule should =0. Charged molecules should add up to their overall charge (NH4+ = N(-3) and H4(+1)
7. Can be integers (superoxide O2-=-1/2) |
Salt Hydrolysis: |
The reaction of an anion or a cation of a salt, or both, with water
-Salts that produce neutral solutions NaNO3 --> Na+ + NO3- Na+ neither donates or accepts H+ No3- is CB of SA (HNO3) and therefore no hydrolysis
-Salts that produce basic solutions CH3COONa --> CH3COO- + Na+ Na+ neither donates or accepts H+ CH3COO- is CB oF WA (CH3COOH) and therefore wants to gain H+, making overall basic
-Salts that produce acidic solutions NH4Cl --> NH4+ +Cl- Cl- is CB of SA (HCl) and therefore no hydrolysis NH4+ is CA of WB (NH3) and therefore makes acidic---able to donate H+ to Cl-
|
Percent Hydrolysis |
%H = [C]hydrolyzed at equilibrium x 100% [C]initial |
Basic, Acidic, Amphoteric Oxides |
Basic: Li, Na, K, Rb, CS, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, In, Tl (all 1A, all 2A except Be, and In2O3 & Tl2O3)
Acidic: B, C, Si, Ge, N, P, As, Sb, Bi, S, Se, Te, Po, O, Cl, Br, I, At (all 5A, all 6A except O, all 7A, only B on 3A, top 3 on 4A)
Amphoteric: BeO, Al2O3, Ga2O3, SnO2, PbO2
|
Lewis Acid: |
a substance that can accept a pair of electrons
Ag+ + 2NH3 <---> Ag(NH3)+2 LA LB
|
Lewis Base: |
a substance that can donate a pair of elctrons
Ag+ + 2NH3 <---> Ag(NH3)+2 LA LB |
Salt: |
an ionic compound formed by the reaction between an acid and a base
|
Neutral salt if... |
-Cation is alkali metal or alkaline earth metal (ion can neither accept or donate a proton because already has + charge)
-Anion is CB of SA (CBs of SAs ahve "no appreciable strength") |
Common Ion: |
2 solutes dissolved in a solvent that contain the same ion
HF +H2O <---> F- + H3O+
NaF ---> Na+ + F- |
Common Ion Effect: |
the shift in equilibrium caused by the addition of a compound having an ion in common with the dissolved substance
*common ion raises pH of acid soln.* |
Buffer Solution: |
a solution that resists change to pH (consists of WA or WB and it's conjugate salt) ; *buffer is a specific type of "common ion effect" problem and therefore H-H equation can be used to calculate pH* ; ; |
At FINAL line of ICF... |
-Remainder: SA or SB Procedure: calculate pH directly from molarity of SA or SB (found in titrations) ; -Reamainder: WA or WB Procedure: write substance's equilibrium with water and fill out ICE table (found in titrations) (at equivalence point)
-Remainder: CB/CA pair Procedure: use H-H equation |
Indicator |
a substance which changes color with pH
-usually a weak organic acid -has 2 distinctly different colors in ionized and nonionized form
HIn + H2O <---> In- + H3O+ purple red |
Q and Ksp |
Q < Ksp unsaturated can dissolve more favors products (shift R more)
Q = Ksp saturated equilibrium point ([C]0 = [C]e)
Q > Ksp supersaturated wants to ppt out more favors reactant (shift L more) |
Molar Solubility: |
# mol of solute in 1L of a saturated solution (mol/L)
(s) |
Solubility |
# grams of solute in 1L of a saturated solution (g/L) |
If anion of salt is the CB of WA... |
Then solubility increases with decreasing pH (i.e. added acid) |
Spontaneous Reaction: |
reaction will occur under a certain set of conditions
examples: -water in a freezer will freeze -diamonds will convert to graphite (no matter the rate of reaction) |
Entropy: |
direct measure of randomness or disorder of a system
-larger disorder = larger value of S
-as temperature increases, entropy increases (molecules morve more rapidly with added heat; entropy of gas is much larger than solid and liquid) |
Standard Entropy: |
absolute entropy of a substance at 1 atm and 25o Celsius
Ssolid < Sliquid << Sgas |
Processes that lead to increase in entropy of a system |
1. melting
2. vaporization or sublimation vaporization: liquid --> gas sublimation: solid --> gas deposition: gas --> solid
3. dissolving a molecular compound
4. raising the temperature of a system |
Second Law of Thermodynamics: |
the entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process
spontaneous: ΔSuniverse = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurroundings > 0 *if process has +ΔSuniverse, then will be spontaneous)
equilibrium: ΔSuniverse = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurroundings = 0
|
Endothermic & Exothermic |
ΔSsurroundings = 1 -ΔHsystem
endothermic reaction -ΔH +ΔS
exothermic reaction |
Third Law of Thermodynamics |
entropy of a perfect crystalline substance is 0 at absolute zero of temperature |
Gibbs Free Energy |
ΔG = ΔH -TΔS
ΔG < 0: spontaneous
ΔG > 0: spontaneous in reverse direction
ΔG = 0: equilibrium 0= ΔH -TΔS T = ΔH ΔS |
Standard Free Energy of Formation: |
the free energy change that occurs when 1 mol of compound is synthesized from its elements in standard states
ΣΔGof(products) and ΣΔGof(reactants) |
Standard Free Energy of Reaction: |
standard enthalpy of formation of any element in its stable form is 0
ΔGorxn |
ΔGo vs. ΔG |
ΔGo: ΔG at standard state (only 1 set of conditions)
ΔG: when leaves standard state (ex. at equilibrium) |
ΔG = ? |
ΔG = ΔGo + RTlnQ
when ΔG = 0: 0 = ΔGo + RTlnK
ΔGo = -RTlnK
|
Electrochemistry: |
branch of chemistry dealing with interconversion between electrical and chemical energy
-energy is released by spontaneous redox reaction
-energy is used to cause nonspontaneous reaction to occur |
Redox Reactions |
reactions involving transfer of electrons from one substance to another |
Ion-Electron Method: |
a special procedure to balance redox reactions |
Galvanic Cell: |
experimental apparatus for generating electricity through use of a spontaneous redox reaction
(aka voltaic cell) |
Amp vs. Cell Voltage |
amp: # of electrons that move through a wire
cell voltage: "zing" speed on electrons as move through wire (how much force throw ball) |
Salt Bridge: |
contains an inert (neutral) electrolytic solution that allows the charges on both sides to stay balanced
-electrons leave from L side and as [cation] increases, anions enter to balance
*ALWAYS: anode ---> cathode |

Standard Oxidation Potential: |
the voltage associated with an oxidation reaction at an electrode when all solutes are 1M and gases are 1atm
(Eoox) |
Standard Cell Potential: |
